Ravana Waterfall in Sri Lanka

In December, we crossed the centrally located highlands of the island of Sri Lanka with friends. It’s very different there than here on the coast. In particular, it is much cooler, sometimes downright cold at night and the food is also very different from the food on the coast. But that’s probably the case everywhere. In Italy, it is called “mare e monti”. On the coast people live on fish, in the highlands the well-known Sri Lankan vegetable curry is eaten. Agriculture, tea thrives in the higher regions, while rubber predominates further down. Near the backpacker town of Ella there is the Ravana waterfall, which is especially popular for Indian tourists. According to legend, an evil spirit kidnapped a beautiful prince-princess couple and held them captive in a cave behind this waterfall. Only the monkey god Hanuman was able to locate and free the princess and her prince.
